Thanks for that Dmytri. I find the way Jake Appelbaum frames these
issues very accessible and clarifying for my own thinking, and what
you wrote here continued to do that for me.
Jaromil, can you add to what you're writing here? I feel that I
could learn a lot from you, but am missing enough co

Ahah -- therein lies the conundrum. Are you sure that you can defend
this, apparently controversial, "priority" scheme?
Where does one's "politics" come from? In particular, what might *cause*

Recent Books I'm In and Why They're Good
Ok, this is a bad way to begin reviews/announcements of some recent books
that discuss my work (in the midst of others of course); I'm not sure how
to do this modestly, or whether modesty would even be an issue. For me
these books have been important
Good point, Michael! Come back, Thorstein Veblen, all is forgiven.
I am really just making a plea for the introduction of world history
into this discussion. The fastest-growing economy in the world between
1890 and 1913 was Russia with an annual growth rate of about 10%,

I gave a talk with Jacob Applebaum at last week's Re:publica conference
in Berlin.
